manofstrad Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 flash car drivers are pretentious prats, vulgar and tasteless What a ridiculous thing to say, a prime example of binary thinking. Driving a Ferrari, Aston, Bentley etc does not make someone vulgar or tasteless, quite the opposite in fact. These cars are the finest in the world, you just sound very jealous.

What a predictable response. I have a Citroen DS thanks, the finest car ever made. I was also speaking hypothetically, I do not necessarily deem the flash car driver tasteless. It depends on their dress and attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss_luxardo Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 During the week I drive a fairly modest car and I give out and receive courtesy from other road users. Come the weekend I fetch something rather more expensive and prestigious out of my garage. I offer the same amount of courtesy to other road users as I do in my day to day ride, but the reaction from them is totally different. They will not let me out at junctions or they look at me with disgust when they pull up next to me. Ridiculous when you think about it! This attitude towards the rich has been further pointed out by many people who post on here. Another current thread points out the habit of people calling anyone wealthier than themselves a "ten bob millionaire". Is this simply a case of jealousy or is there some other reason for this hatred of success? the fact that you assume its because of jelousy, or "hatred of success" just shows that this post is a "look at me, so much more successful than the rest of you.. just letting you know".. but to actually answer your question i find that people are just disrespectful on the road to each other no matter what car you drive.. just the selfishness of everyone really. could i ask what type of car you're talking about?

manofstrad Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 See, that just proves the point that you have the car to flash it about & because it is expensive, not because you know a good car. SOME ferraris, SOME astons, SOME Bentleys are good, but some of them aren't. That really is splitting hairs. They are the finest cars in the world. I just can't understand why it gets up so many peoples noses that generaly they are driven by the finest people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what I mean about the general thinking on SF? If someone is successful it cannot be accepted. You are obviously pretentious, arrogant blah blah blah blah Some people on here are just ****** they didn't work harder when younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right, If you are succesful you are either labeled a "ten bob millionaire" or a "troll"! Disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOOK AT IIT!!!" those type of cars make people think "what a t*sser". just sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She often complains about the nasty looks she gets when parked near school on Furness Avenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I'm not sure, perhaps it's because jealous folk laugh and call them pathetic? No, it's not that at all. Why you do feel the need to drive a flash car and then come on here stating that you have a flash car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
